Abstract:This paper describes the development of energy saving mechanisms for renewable hydrogen vehicles, thereby providing extended range and improved efficiency. Simulation studies of configuration setup and analysis for better energy management strategies are carried out using simulation tools developed by the University of Glamorgan (UoG), Faculty of Advanced Technology (FAT). The simulation tools are used to analyze the effect of operating conditions and energy demand of a hybrid vehicle. A dynamic model of onboa… Show more

“…The attraction of using hydrogen as an energy carrier is growing rapidly in order to satisfy the increasing energy needs due to the growing global energy demands and energy shortages with high efficiency, lower emissions and low fuel usage [1]. Hydrogen is of considerable relevance in such circumstances, since hydrogen produced from renewable sources has the flexibility to be used as a clean, safe and convenient transport fuel [19].…”

“…Focus lies both on the increase of efficiency and on the change from fossil and nuclear fuels to more sustainable solutions. One way to integrate a sustainable solution to the energy market is through hydrogen [1], [18], [35], [36]. It is therefore, essential to search for design and operating conditions which lead to reduction of energy dissipation and consequently lower hydrogen production cost to promote the hydrogen technologies [37].…”

“…The calculation of the price involves assumption of mass production, taxes, and the way in which hydrogen produced. For example, through wind farm or via electrolysis etc, It should be noted that in order to achieve the benefits from a hydrogen economy, hydrogen need to be produced from a renewable energy source [1]. If hydrogen is produced from wind power for the purpose of vehicle refuelling, the distance between the hydrogen fueling station and wind to hydrogen production facility play a significant role in the determination of the final cost of the hydrogen energy [17].…”

This paper presents an overview of renewable energy technologies, the hydrogen economy, and the impact of renewable energy technologies penetration on energy price. The paper begins by presenting an overview of different energy sources and the impact from hydrogen as a fuel into the energy market along with the problems associated with hydrogen energy. The work proceeds to investigate the applications of hydrogen as a fuel and its effects on investment policy in energy industry.

Energy supply technologiesContinuing population growth and rising incomes lead to greater energy consumption, as well as more waste. Over the next few decades, the number of people who are affected by energy shortages is likely to increase several fold. Economically viable methods for renewable energy production can reverse this trend and ensure a continuous supply of energy. The increasing global energy demand and concern about the environmental impact of excess usage of fossil fuels have progressively increased the interest in energy from renewable energy sources. The development of renewable energies into the energy market is being pursued by several governments around the world in an effort to abate climate change, provide security of energy supply and reduce air pollution. In order to reduce the carbon emission, policy makers set some high targets to achieve. Among these renewable sources, solar energy is one of the most promising energy sources for widespread application [11], [12], [13]. The reason for that includes its free access and abundance for most of the places in the world. Due to its intermittency and fluctuation, one of the important research challenges is to improve the system's efficiency and performance. However, it is evident that the solar system has been deployed widely and more and more organisations and people are benefiting from installing photovoltaic panels, which converts the solar energy to electrical energy [14]. It is estimated that the PV industry had a global total of 40GW capacity which is a significant compared with other renewable energy sourcesWind energy is also widely distributed but wind regimes differ significantly both within and between regions, and variations in wind speed can have a profound effect on energy output [15], [16], [17]. Grid connected wind power, from large turbines has seen rapid market growth recently. The amount of wind power currently installed is about 200GW with a growth rate of 40GW installed annually worldwide. However the annual growth rate differs considerably between regions even within a country. For example, expected annual growth rate is 33% in Wales and 22% in the UK [17]. Increasing the amount of wind power has significant effects on the electrical grid

This paper is concerned with the finite-horizon recursive filtering problem for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems with missing measurements. The missing measurements are modeled by a series of mutually independent random variables obeying Bernoulli distributions with possibly different occurrence probabilities. Attention is focused on the design of a recursive filter such that, for the missing measurements, an upper bound for the filtering error covariance is guaranteed and such an upper bound is subsequently minimized by properly designing the filter parameters at each sampling instant. The desired filter parameters are obtained by solving two Riccati-like difference equations that are of a recursive form suitable for online applications. A simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter design scheme.
